Comedian Bill Cosby Playboy sexual assault case to be Held

Comedian, Bill Cosby has failed
to block a civil case accusing him of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl at
the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles in 1974.The
California Supreme Court rejected his petition to review the case brought by
Judy Huth, mean­ing her lawyers can now question Cosby under oath.

The
78-year-old is facing a string of sexual assault accusations dating back
decades.

He has
always maintained his in­nocence and has never been crimi­nally charged. Huth
alleges that Cosby plied her with alcohol before sexually assaulting her.

Her
lawyer, Gloria Allred, described it as a “major victory” and says she intends
to take a sworn deposition from the co­median within the next month.

Earlier
in the week, the LA police department confirmed that it was investigating
“certain complaints against him.”
